We Treat Impotence With a Science

We treat impotence with a science,
And, we are proud of the results!

Were jailed for sexual assaults!

Premium Member Stultiloquence of the Room

I knew the women had arrived by the stultiloquence of the room
Chatter went up another twenty percent when mom arrived on her broom
Annual witch’s gabfest convention was a hit in New England today
The frightened ancestors of Salem’s accusers knew when to stay away.

Premium Member Don't get fuel-led '

20% of petrol..Or gas travels through Hormuz..Yet are we being had, not all
Ships are blocked, so maybe 15% percent
Lost, to world demand, its not even a 50%
Drop.? Yet there is talk of lockdowns.' By
Administrations world-wide.. I think well.?
No its obvious...We are being pushed onto
Some ill fated ride.'

Premium Member Uncle Jimmys Profits

Uncle Jimmy was always bragging about his profits.
He constantly had things to sell.
I made two dollars, a ten percent profit.
I made five dollars, a twenty percent profit.
I made seventeen dollars, a fifty percent profit.
Actually everything he sells gives him a hundred percent profit.
He has never had a job.
His father has purchased anything he thinks he owns.


Lost In Dismay

Do you spend twenty percent of your time
  acquiring your beliefs

And eighty percent of your time
   in defense

Do you have blinders on
  about what you conceive

In fear of the critics
  pretense 

Are your views narrow focused
  and then watered down

As the truth disavowed
  slips away

Is your memory tainted
  in times left to waste

As your efforts
  —retreat in dismay

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2019)

Premium Member Frangelico

There is a hazelnut-flavored liquor named "Frangelico" It's named after a hermit monk who lived long ago. This twenty percent alcohol spirit comes from Italy. All over the world, it has gained popularity. The liquor's brown bottle resembles a Franciscan friar. Sip it straight up, or in any mixed drink you desire. After you buy it for the first time in any liquor store, chances are, when it's gone, you will buy some more.
